This would’ve been a better ride if it was a water ride

Universal just announced this show is dead; who knows what's coming in to replace it, but it's all gone.

I have a soft spot for this attraction. Is it good for modern. Standards? Not really but it is such a cool look back at theme park history. I think it could definitely do with a big refurb, but I don't want to see the last lost continent attraction leave. Between Epcot getting taken over by the IPs and Harry Potter everywhere at universal, I'd like to see some original rides remain.

Ah glad to know that I was NOT supposed to get wet when I went through that water tunnel 🤦🏽‍♀️

RIP Poseidon. You weren’t loved by everyone but I loved you for how unique you are

The CGI looks like the “I’m blue” video.

The original Poseidons fury was absolutely fantastic the remake so-called improvements were absolutely awful the old one was classical fantastic voice overs and the best graphics then it became some live action garbage. Yes I used to work there.

The original story was very good, but the final room left you wondering what was going on. the updated story didn’t make any sense based on original layout. Once the waterway was discontinued, it was no longer worth exploring. But the building itself is awesome. They could totally turn this into something of value, but people don’t want to stand for 45 minutes. I say gut and Re-theme the inside with a sit down dark boat ride.

I love this attraction. Could be changed to Percy Jackson easily....

a better name for a villain in the second version would have been Oceanus (the Titan of the ocean in Greek mythology).

When I went on this experience last, the guide Taylor made one of the best meta-jokes I’ve ever heard. When they shone the UV light on the wall and found the hidden writings, he said “Look! A hidden message! Written... in English... conveniently.”

Disney wisely decided against doing the Haunted Mansion as a walkthrough attraction because they feared that guests would “linger” too long. Also, the “doombuggys” control where the rider’s attention is focused so Disney can concentrate all the best effects in one place during each scene.

I was on this one time when the water vortex broke down and soaked everyone.

Oddly enough, the show building for Poseidon's Fury is roughly the same size for Flight of Passage. Just some perspective to imagine what they could do with it.

Honestly, I LOVED it. I went in to it knowing nothing except that the employee out front said it was a special effects experience. Each room continues to one-up the previous one, and it's so immersive. Maybe the story is a little cheesy, but like... it's a theme park show. The attraction is so unique, and I hope it sticks around. Not everything needs to be a ride.

I honestly had no idea this attraction existed so was pretty interesting to know about it. I think the updated version does look better but not a massive improvement.
